I, the Holy Maiden of Light, tear apart the Outer Gods.

She was even somewhat relieved that she hadn't drawn the Spear of Longinus first; otherwise, her reckless nature would have resulted in something far more disastrous for Joan than just the Horn of Doom...

She even had some doubts about whether Judge Joan could withstand the Spear of Longinus...

Ange waved to the Hellfire Witch, "Since you're not coming, we're leaving now~"

After saying that, Anjie deliberately made a face.

If she were provoked like this normally, the Infernal Witch would definitely jump out and fight to the death, given her fiery temper. But after witnessing that shot, she hesitated.

In just that one exchange, the nun had already unleashed two divine artifacts...

Who knows what other treasure they might be holding...

Thinking of this, the Hell Witch felt a surge of resentment.

"Damn it, how come a little nun from the town of Aisa has so many treasures! Is she the Pope's illegitimate daughter!?"

Of course, no one will answer this question for her.

As she hesitated, watching Ange's retreating figure, she suddenly heard a message about the witches' gathering.

Upon hearing the contents, the Infernal Witch's expression changed several times before she finally gritted her teeth and turned to leave.

That guy from Space was actually pierced through the heart by that spear right in front of the conference chairman!

Such a terrifying treasure made Purgatory truly feel the urge to retreat.

Fortunately, their witch gathering is quite special, especially at the level of the Witch of Principles, where even if the physical body is destroyed, it is not considered a complete death.

But Purgatory has no desire to experience being pierced through the heart by a spear, or being crushed into a meat patty by an invisible force.

Chapter 55, Section 57: Don't be afraid, I've got your back.

Novia fell into a coma after the Space Witch disappeared.

Carrying Novia, Ange ran frantically for a long time until the aura of the Infernal Witch behind her completely disappeared. Only then did she exhale and slowly squat down against a tree.

Actually, she was a little nervous when facing the two principled witches just now.

After all, she was a top figure at the gathering of two witches.

But the final result proved that their own system was still the better one.

"Of course! As long as you complete the mission properly, I'll kill even a god, let alone a small witch gathering!"

The system seemed to sense Anjie's praise and quickly jumped out to make its presence known.

Of course, in the end, I couldn't resist taking a jab at Anjie:

[What a pity, your host is such a useless saintess. Sigh, if my host were Miss Naya, we'd probably have dominated the continent long ago!]

Anjie: ...

After rolling her eyes, Anjie decided to take back her praise of the system.

This rascal is so easily flattered; he gets all arrogant and overconfident the moment he's given a little praise.

As my nerves relaxed, fatigue returned.

Today was a long day dealing with Chief Justice Emil and the royal guards, and I also had to be wary of Nyarlathotep. Just when I could finally get some rest tonight, I ran into a bunch of troublesome witches...

Ange sighed, pinched the cheek of the unconscious Novia beside her, and smiled sweetly, "Never mind, go back and get some rest now."

Just then, the magic within my body resumed its responsiveness.

It seems the magical seal of the Witches' Gathering has ended.

However, when Anjie stood up, she met a pair of golden eyes.

Chief Judge Emil stood quietly under a tree, watching her without saying a word, his eyes, tinged with gold by magic, filled with emotions that Ange couldn't comprehend.

Anjie's lips twitched violently.

She's not wearing makeup or breast pads right now...

I never expected that after being a whole day late, and just when I thought I was about to succeed, I would stumble at this crucial moment.

But since things had come to this, Ange could only force a smile and awkwardly wave to Chief Judge Emil, "Okay, long time no see~ Chief Judge Emil..."

"...You should know that this is not what I want to hear."

Emil's voice, like his appearance, carried a hint of childishness and a babyish quality, sounding soft and pleasant to the ear. But the tone of his words carried a distinct chill.

Anjie sighed inwardly and could only obediently lower her head, "I'm sorry..."

"..."

Looking at the blonde girl with her head down, not saying a word, Emil's chest heaved, and various ideas of punishment flashed through his mind.

But in the end, he sighed helplessly and slowly walked up to Anjie.

She raised her hand to ruffle Ange's long hair, but then awkwardly realized she was too short; her arm wasn't long enough to reach Ange's face...

Feeling the warm little hand on her cheek, Ange's gaze met Emil's.

Anjie: "..."

Emil: "..."

After a moment of mysterious silence, Emil stared with dead fish eyes and calmly commanded, "Crouch down a little, I can't reach you."

"Cough cough..."

Anjie awkwardly looked away and obediently squatted down.

Emil ruffled Ange's long, smooth hair and smiled with satisfaction, but the smile vanished in an instant, replaced by a very serious expression. "Tell me, why did you run away in the first place?"

Anjie gave a slight twitch at the corner of her mouth.

Could she really say that she ran away because she was afraid of revealing her identity as a time traveler?

Her time travel was a huge secret, one she couldn't reveal even if it meant death.

Fortunately, the royal family and the church gave Ange a perfect reason.

"Chief Judge Emir, I don't want to marry into the royal family..."

As she said this, Ange hugged Emil and buried her head in his chest, her voice filled with grievance.

But she was thinking about something else.

Ange: Chief Judge Emil smells so good! He's so small, soft, and cute. If he weren't old enough to be my mom, I'd love to take him home and raise him.

You're such a dutiful son!

While Ange and the system were mentally arguing, Emil was still immersed in the emotions brought about by Ange's words.

Putting aside the fact that Anjie is that guy's daughter, the fact that the three chief referees watched Anjie grow up is enough for them to treat Anjie as their own daughter.

Hearing Ange's aggrieved tone, Emil's heart almost broke.

This is their precious treasure, nurtured and raised with the utmost care.

Now, forced by a church marriage, he has fled his home of more than ten years and come to this backward and poor town to suffer hardship.

It's hard to imagine how much hardship a penniless, sheltered, and pampered nun endured in such a strange and backward town to finally obtain a position as a nun in the town.

Now she's burying her face in her arms, complaining and feeling wronged. And to avoid affecting the relationship between the church and the royal family, Ange hasn't said a single harsh word...

Anjie has always been a child who knows how to control herself.

How much grievance must have been hidden in her heart to drive such a strong child to sob in the arms of her elders?

Thinking of this, Emil's heart ached even more. He instinctively hugged Ange's head and gently stroked her long hair. "Be good, we won't get married."

In that instant, Emil made up his mind: once he took Ange back, he would ask the Pope to cancel his engagement with the royal family!

If the other party doesn't agree, I'll just demolish the Royal Capital Cathedral!

Even if Saintess Gaya scolds me this time, I absolutely cannot let my precious daughter suffer any more grievances!

But Anjie was completely dumbfounded.

No way!

The correct script shouldn't be: you disagree with my demands and force me to marry into the royal family, then I angrily run away and never have anything to do with the church again?

Chief Justice Emir, please hold on a little longer! Don't reject the royal wedding so soon!

No, the engagement cannot be cancelled.

Otherwise, wouldn't I have no reason to run away?

"Ahem, well... Chief Judge Emil, actually I think we shouldn't cancel this engagement. You see, with the new king's ascension to the throne, the situation in the capital is already at a critical juncture."

My escape has already caused trouble for the church. If I offend the royal family because of my emotions, it may affect our church.

"How about this? You see, as long as I don't go back, the royal family will naturally focus their anger on me, and won't take it out on the church."

Ange looked up and winked at Emil.

But when Emil heard Ange's words, she thought that Ange was still wholeheartedly considering the church.

While admiring Anjie as a worthy saint, I also felt even more heartache for her maturity.

Emil kissed Ange's long hair and smiled gently: "It's alright. Our church is not afraid of the royal family."

Anjie:...

P.S.: I had a full day of military training (from 6:30 am to 9:30 pm), and I didn't get back until 10 pm. After showering, I started writing. So the update is a bit late. There will be another chapter tonight.

P.S.: There will be extra chapters, I'll try my best to squeeze in time, love you all~ mua

Section 58, Chapter 56: We are lovers.

no...

We must find a reason to make Emil give up on taking me back to the capital!
